The project to which the Deputy refers was included in my announcement last year of 43 projects to proceed to tender and construction and is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning.

My Department received the stage 2b submission for this project from the design team in late November. An official from my Department met with a representative of the design team in mid-December following which further information was received. This is currently being considered by my Department.

On completion of the review of the Stage 2(b) submission, my Department will revert to the school regarding next steps in the progression of the project towards tender and construction.
